TikTok ‘directs child accounts to pornographic content within a few clicks’
Despite platform’s limits on adult content, study finds it not only accessible but often suggested
TikTok has directed children’s accounts to pornographic content within a small number of clicks, according to a report by a campaign group.
Global Witness set up fake accounts using a 13-year-old’s birth date and turned on the video app’s “restricted mode”, which limits exposure to “sexually suggestive” content.
Researchers found TikTok suggested sexualised and explicit search terms to seven test accounts that were created on clean phones with no search history.

ICEBlock Owner After Apple Removes App: ‘We Are Determined to Fight This’
The developer of ICEBlock, an app that lets people crowdsource sightings of ICE officials, has said he is determined to fight back after Apple removed the app from its App Store on Thursday. The removal came after pressure from Department of Justice officials acting at the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi, according to Fox which first reported the removal. Apple told 404 Media it has removed other similar apps too.“I am incredibly disappointed by Apple's actions today. Capitulating to an authoritarian regime is never the right move,” Joshua Aaron told 404 Media. “ICEBlock is no different from crowd sourcing speed traps, which every notable mapping application, including Apple's own Maps app, implements as part of its core services. This is protected speech under the first amendment of the United States Constitution.”

Kash Patel fires FBI agent trainee for displaying gay pride flag
The FBI employee was fired on the first day of the government shutdown as Trump threatened more terminations.
FBI Director Kash Patel on Wednesday fired an agent in training for displaying a gay pride flag on his desk while appointed to a field office in California last year, according to three people familiar with the matter.
The trainee, who previously worked as an FBI support specialist in Los Angeles, received a letter — dated Oct. 1 and signed by Patel — claiming he had displayed an improper “political” message in the workplace during his assignment in California under President Joe Biden, according to a copy of the letter shared with MSNBC.
The letter cited President Donald Trump’s Article II powers under the Constitution to dismiss federal agency career personnel, a justification used in several recent firings at the Department of Justice and FBI. The terminations are currently being challenged in several lawsuits.

The blockade is fully illegal under international law and has been ruled so by the International Criminal Court of Justice in 2024.
Israel has no territorial rights over the Gaza sea under international law. And to make this even worse, they were not intercepted in the sea of Gaza, but in international waters far from the shore.
The only legal blockade is the Ansarallah one on the Red Sea.

Keep in mind, pedophiles don't use Signal.
They use Matrix, which is a real thorn in the side of the authorities trying to catch them.

Please link a single news source showing Signal app was part of a pedophile bust - should be easy if its got poor encryption that can be backdoored by authorities.
Software engineering is so often dominated by a move fast and break things mentality, driven by a rush to deploy and scale and profit, with the ability to fix problems with later updates. It’s a very immature process compared to every other engineering domain, because fix-it-later is much more difficult, expensive, and dangerous when it’s a bridge, building, airplane, or anything else tangible (although Boeing did a great job of destroying engineering process and accountability after the MBAs took control away from the engineers).
The work detailed in this Signal blog post is clearly slow and methodical, with continual checks for correctness and curiosity for optimal solutions driving careful experimentation. Building on existing proven PQ standards and keeping their refinements open for public academic feedback is wonderfully responsible. Building formal correctness proofs into CI and blocking trunk merges is spectacular.
They’re doing everything right, even years after Moxie Marlinspike’s departure. Bravo! Working this way is very expensive and requires absolute support from upper management. I’m definitely a fanboy for Meredith Whittaker and the direction she’s running the organization. Hell yeah!

Ari Aster, Florence Pugh – „Midsommar“ (2019)
Das, was aussieht wie eine Postkarte aus dem letzten Schwedenurlaub, ist ein chirurgischer Eingriff mitten ins Herz einer Beziehung. Kein klassischer Horror, sondern eine radikale Dekonstruktion von Intimität, Macht und kultureller Projektion. Wo Hollywood den Schrecken meist in dunklen Kellern und nächtlichen Wäldern versteckt, wagt Ari Aster einen Gegenentwurf: Wir sehen alles im grellen Tageslicht, ohne jede Rückzugsmöglichkeit. Der Horror liegt in der Sichtbarkeit, in der Unerbittlichkeit des Lichts, das einfach alles aufdeckt. (ZDF, Wh.)

Milwaukee fights back against fake abortion clinic
Milwaukee, WI – Activists with Reproductive Justice Action-Milwaukee (RJAM), have been showing up consistently throughout the month of September to protest the newly opened Alliance Women's Clinic.
“Places like Alliance want to divert you from accurate and accessible healthcare,” stated a member of RJAM on September 15.
“We believe that no healthcare professional’s religious, moral, or personal opinions affect your abortion care,” continued another RJAM member.
“Our bodies, our lives! Our right to decide!” chanted Catie Petralia, an RJAM member, and followed by an echo of protesters outside of Alliance.
Activists hope to raise awareness about the harm the newly opened clinic can cause. Reproductive Justice Action Milwaukee has protested other fake clinics in Milwaukee over the past few years, mainly the Women’s Care Center. RJAM’s Instagram notes that “fake clinics” or “crisis pregnancy centers” operate as healthcare entities that are funded by religious pro-life organizations to manipulate pregnant women into not choosing or receiving life-saving abortion care.
Alliance opened its doors in late August 2025, on the outskirts of West Allis, Wisconsin. RJAM took notice of this after they had protested an Alliance Family Services van in June, which had parked outside of Planned Parenthood in Milwaukee for months. The Alliance agenda, per their website, is anti-abortion centered.
Reproductive Justice Action Milwaukee will be continuing to show up to picket Alliance Women’s Clinic “until we kick them out of the city. They are not welcome here!” Stay tuned with Fight Back News to hear more stories about this fight.

YouTube is secretly deindexing content - Small update
For reference, here is the last post I made on this matter.
I have collected data based on some YouTube channels I have managed to (mostly) archive over the year. Specifically, I started archiving at the start of March 2025. Judging by this initial data I can more confidently say that either YouTube is performing some seriously shady shit, or an extremely high number of active YouTube creators have chosen to unlist an extremely high number of their videos in the past couple months.
About my data:
1. The column titled 'Uploaded' is the number of uploads as shown on the creator's homepage.
2. The column titled 'Public' is the number of uploads for each creator that are currently listed as of midnight, Fri 3 Oct 2025. This is shown via yt-dlp's count for the entire channel, and the videos visible on the channel's Videos tab.
3. While the slight difference in number may seem unsuspicious, yt-dlp gathers a count of all listed videos, whether public, private, membership only, marked as NSFW or age restricted.
4. I can safely say, given my current archive, that the significant deindexing by creator or by YouTube must have happened to each channel within the last few months. The difference between channels whose upload count matches my archive count, but is far higher than the public count, is suspicious to me.
5. Each creator's entire upload set is purely vlog-style with minimal edits, and are not in the habit of breaching the Community Guidelines.
The stats:
The action:
- I am currently contacting creators who have several hundred unlisted videos for confirmation, if they were the ones to delist them.
The conclusion so far:
- While I am suspicious of sneaky behaviour, it is also possible that every missing video was actually unlisted by the creator.
Youtube seems to be blocking access to a seriously large amount of publicly listed videos
I dont know what to think, really.The Dekaif channel has 434 videos, but YouTube is only showing 275 to clients, whether logged in or not, whether yt-dlp or official access.
This isn't the first channel I've witnessed this, and weirder stuff, on. Another example is - it is accessible on Grayjay, yet not on YouTube, meaning (I think) that publicly shared videos are being deindexed, and yet they are still hosted.
You used to be able to take the video code from the URL (everything after '?v=' and before '&') and get the exact video in search results. Not now. The second YouTuber, Sparky, has 35 uploads, only 9 of which are visible. And I can attest that at least one of the remaining 26 is hosted, but invisible. I don't even know how it came up using Grayjay but not YouTube or Revanced.
Basically, there's a TON of shady underhanded shit happening at YTHQ and everyone needs to jump ship to Odysee, Peertube or some platform that won't be clogged with AI. This is bad for everyone.
I'm posting it here mainly because I verified my findings with yt-dlp, and this new bs is successfully thwarting my attempts to archive.
3rd Oct edit: I am seeing massive differences in indexed videos versus archived videos. I am currently aggregating but the definitely affected videos range from 10% to 50%

YouTube did make some changes to their terms primarily for creators that get paid for content. They added some new LLM-based scanning of content to find stuff that is too repetitive or didn't contain enough original content. Assuming the creators you looked at have mostly original content rather than remixing of content which may be misinterpreted by LLMs as not being "original enough", they could be falling victim to overaggressive hits if they use a consistent format in their content since LLMs don't really understand context, only patterns.
I'd be interested to find out if the creators got any notification from YouTube on the reason for removal of the content.

Try a different browser.
Also try fetching the sites with curl just to see if that works. Curl’s verbose mode will also tell you what ciphers it tried.

Not sure what the sites are or what they resolve to on your end, but you might try using openssl to see if its a bad cipher or outdated cert maybe:
